Politicians and Pot

Old School

the real story
This list, compiled from a recent High Times article, shows the amazing hypocricy in politics... as if we needed to be SHOWN. Well, I guess some people do.

The List

William "Bill" Clinton :
I experimented with marijuana a time or two, and I didn't like it and didn't inhale, and never tried it again.
MTV : If you could try marijuana again for the first time, would you inhale?
Clinton : Sure, If I could. I tried before.

Albert Gore :
During Junior and Senior years in college, "once or twice" while off duty in the Army, at Grad school and while working at a Nashville newspaper.
At least I waited until I was in college...

Tipper Gore :
In college.

Douglas Ginsburg :
Once as a college student in the '60's and then on a few occasions in the '70's, I used marijuana."

Bruce Babbitt :
In 1966 and 1977 while working with the Civil Rights Movement in the South.
Whats the big deal?

Rep. Joseph Kennedy :
As one of the few politicians who admits to having inhaled and having enjoyed marujuana, I of course support the medical use of marijuana
Hooray for Kennedy!!

Newt Gingrich :
Grad School and late night parties in New Orleans.
Interesting side note : If ole hypocrit Newt's desired policies were in place when he was elected, he would have been fired, and his children would have been taken away and put in orphanages when he was in Grad school.

Old School

well these people grew up in the 60s and 70s where peer pressur for thying it was everywhere, but now that that the media monaters all sights and sounds, and things spread quickly. more things have to be kept quiet.

Old School

One of Clinton's last things he was able to do before leaving office was to grant pardons
...so guess who he pardons?....his brother...
guess what his brother had been convicted of...you guessed right if you said...DRUGS!

"By definition".......those words always amused me. Change one word in a definition ....and you can change the meaning of the word. And hence change the word. "Some say a word is dead once said.......
I say ,it just begins to live that day"
Thought provoking.
